Is a bug an insect? Is a spider a bug? These questions and many more will be answered in Chewonki's Bugmobile program which will be presented as part of the Children's Summer Reading Program at Wiscasset Public Library.

The program will be held in the Children's Room on Thursday morning, July 10 at 10:30 a.m.

Using models, activities, and live specimens, the program will introduce you to the unique characteristics of the four major groups of arthropods. Chewonki's instructor will display live Walking Sticks, Hissing Cockroaches, a Tarantula, Giant African Millipedes and a Crayfish to help introduce some of the millions of species of arthropods that exist worldwide.

Participants will learn some of the fascinating adaptations essential for survival such as mimicry, camouflage, armor and the use of venom. The program is free and open to the public.
